Virtual Differential gene Expression (DE) Workshop
VirtualNovember 18 - 22, 2024 Space is limited! Application due by midnight November 11th, 2024 WhenNovember 18 – 22, 2024 (5 days)9 am – 4 pm WhereVirtual (by the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) Santa Fe, NM) Objective -Come learn about differential gene expression analysis in this virtual workshop that will teach you with hands-on analysis from start to finish. This differential expression workshop covers basic linux skills, quality control, read alignment, abundance estimation, differential expression analysis, visualization, and pathway analysis. Note that this workshop covers differential expression of bulk tissues (we cover single cell expression in a separate workshop). Audience -This advanced workshop is targeted towards undergraduate or graduate students in biology or related fields. Prerequisites -Unix, sequencing basics and other study guides will be provided upon acceptance. What to expect upon acceptance - Email confirming acceptance into the internship program and further details. Logistics -The workshop will be conducted virtually using primarily Zoom as our conferencing platform. We will also use a variety of other software and tools, and you will log onto NCGR’s Unix analysis server for the command line tools. After the workshop, students can use our analysis server for their research or education purposes […]
R01, R21, and R03 NIH Funding Opportunities: Pros and Cons
VirtualThe R01, R21 and R03 are the three most common NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The R01 is considered the “gold standard” of NIH grants. The small R03 and exploratory/developmental R21 grants should not be considered as “mini-R01s” but rather serve a specific purpose for investigators. Our presenter has had multiple R01 and R21 grants and extensive experience reviewing these types of grant applications and will provide: A basic overview of the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities, including the difference between Parent Announcements (investigator-initiated) and Program Announcements/Request for Applications (PAs/RFAs). Important differences between the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities. Whether the R01, R21 or R03 is the right funding opportunity for your project. Register Here
2025 Western Regional Meeting in Alaska
Hotel Captain Cook Address: 939 West 5th Ave, Anchorage, AK, United StatesThe 2025 Western Regional IDeA Conference (WRIC) is a forum for biomedical scientists to exchange knowledge with their colleagues regarding the most recent research in the NIH IDeA Western Region. The Western IDeA states are Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. WRIC encompasses oral and poster scientific sessions, keynote talks, professional development workshops, and information-sharing sessions with NIH officials. Alaska INBRE welcomes you to the 2025 NIH Western Regional IDeA Conference. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum where biomedical students, scientists, and administrators will share knowledge and establish or strengthen collaborations towards building a dynamic and resilient biomedical research and training network. We are excited to highlight work in the IDeA Western Region, which includes INBRE, COBRE, and CTR programs from Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The conference will be held at the Hotel Captain Cook in the winter city of Anchorage, Alaska, and will include keynote seminars, poster sessions, oral topic-organized breakout sessions, professional development, and IDeA program focused sessions with NIH staff.
